It’s no secret that medical billing is a complex and ever-changing process.
And as a personal injury attorney, it’s essential to ensure the healthcare providers your clients see for treatment keep their chargemasters current and in line with ”usual, customary, and reasonable” (UCR) rates.
It’s important not only for your case, should any of the charges come into question, but also for your practice’s financial health, as those challenges can be costly and time-consuming.
But how do you know if the healthcare providers are charging the appropriate rates for their market?
Market Data and UCR
At Veritas Experts, we use benchmarking databases to determine up-to-date UCR rates. Because we understand local market trends, we can help healthcare practices set their rates appropriately.
Without this data, they could be using outdated pricing. It’s also why regular third-party chargemaster analysis should be an ongoing process and not a one-time event.
We are Veritas Experts
We understand medical billing and provide thorough reviews of chargemasters. We identify any deactivated codes, recommend them for removal as needed, and ensure rates meet the qualifications of UCR, so challenges are fewer. And should any charges come into question, we can also serve as expert witnesses for your case.
Make sure the medical charges in your case are accurate and reasonable. Ask the providers you and your clients work with if they have had their chargemaster reviewed recently.
We are Veritas Experts. And we’re here to help.
